PRESS FOR MAIN MENU: Well, we finally did it. Went on-line. Grabbed a piece of the telecommunications revolution. Sold out to Prestel. Whatever you like. What this means is, we bought ourselves a slice of Micronet - not the first computer mag to do so; sure, and you bet we won't be the last. However, anybody out there - and there may as many as 150,000 of you - who wants to get in touch, do so. Our mailbox is on the masthead. Actuallyy it wasn't that easy. Here's a snatch of the vital dialogue. Editor: We want to go on Micronet. Publisher: No chance. Editor: This object in my hand is a baseball bat. Publisher: Start next week OK? Needless to say there's a lot of other nets we want to subscribe to. Compunet...Brothernet...the list is endless. Wave of the future? Well, one of them, that's for sure. Pity about the word 'Modem', though. Ugly. No soul. Can anybody think of a better one? If you can, write - no, wait! Mailbox us. Save a tree! Speaking of which, you've no doubt noticed a new branch to our logo with this issue. TV Gamer has joined forces with BIG K to further the cause of funware for the masses. Welcome indeed to all TV Gamer readers who are experiencing the BIG K style for the first time. Nice here, innit? TONY TYLER. FRONT COVER: Animal Magic by Robin Smith.
